About This Quiz

Let's take a trip to your local thrift store. Not only will you have a great time picking out fabulous clothes at a bargain, but you'll also feel good knowing that you're supporting a charity! Grab a few things off the rack and hit the dressing room. Once you've styled your perfect thrift store outfit, we'll be able to pinpoint the decade you grew up in. 

Styling an outfit at a thrift store is a low cost way to dress yourself. With so many amazing clothes at such unbelievable prices, you could change your look every day and not break the bank. For this quiz, we want you to choose one specific outfit. You can choose anything you like. Does your style subconsciously lean toward the time you were learning the most? Is that the reason we tend to hang on to things until they seem to come back in style? Or perhaps you'll gravitate to the newest and most futuristic items? Will you accessorize with a scarf or will you dress it up with a fedora?

At the thrift store, the fashion world is your oyster. Let's find out if we can guess your decade of birth based upon your feather boa!
